Suarez and Aubameyang are not out and out centre forwards, in regard to Lewandoski that is very close but Kane is very comparable.
Ok
I know that, but that's semantics. Primary team goal getter, if that helps everybody.
What you on about Mick....when those guys score over 60 goals in two seasons, then they can come and ask politely if they can lace Harry's boots

They're world class to me. Wouldn't want any of em to leave.

He's my first pick, but I'm a Spurs fan and love him to bits, so don't treat me like a heretic.
If you need it spelling out, how many of the world's top ten managers would make him first choice?
He'd be in my team, no doubt

Conte
Jose
Pep
Emery
Klopp
Zidane
Simeone
Ancelotti
Just the 9 then
In our system though we would have
Suarez -- Eriksen -- Aubumuyang
Kane
In terms of Kane vs Lewandoski. Kane scored 29 in 30 in the league and Lewandoski got 30 in 33 in the league last season. Kane is 24 and Lewandoski is 28, and he has the Bayern team providing for him so it's not a clear cut thing.
In the prem only a full fit Aguero would challenge him and how often is that. You could put one or two strikers ahead of Kane but Kane wouldn't fall flat in a world XI. That's why I consider him world class.
Kane's the only world-class player we have. Most teams only have 1 if they're lucky. Where i think we excell is that we have a number that are very close to world-class. Toby, Dele, Eriksen, and Hugo are only a half-step behind, and Verts, Son, Danny, Mousa and Dier only another half-step behind them. All IMHO of course.

Dele is world class potential.
Defiantly but very much potential, he is very young so at the moment his consistency prevents that but ability wise very much so.
He is in a weird place, talent wise he could end up our best player but right now there are probably 5-6 ahead of him.
I don't disagree with either you or Sammy but we don't get to pick the teams. Any manager with a brain would buy him. I suspect that he wouldn't be first pick against the 3 I mentioned.
Even in Sammy's list
Yep we are very lucky to have Kane, thing is he ain't reliant on pace either so his football lifespan should be long. Clever player like him and previously Sheringham and Scholes can play at the very top to their mid to late 30's.
That means if he stays a minimum of 10-12 seasons of 20-30 goals plus.
For me the only two unqualified world class players we have are Kane and Hugo. I would both in the top five of their positions, and would not be out of place on any team in the world (discounting styles of play, I just imagined Hugo playing the ball as much as he would at Barca.)
I absolutely love Eriksen but he suffers for the fact that his position is loaded with talent at the moment. I think he is probably the best AM in the league tbh but there is certainly a discussion between him, KDB, Hazard (who plays a very different game but same position), and others.
Dele certainly has the potential but I wouldn't take him over a great many AMs at the moment.
Toby might be, i just don't think I can judge defenders that well because they are less noticeable, especially when they are really fucking good, which is compounded by not watching much football outside the PL.
I would probably say that Moose is actually the closest to being world class behind Kane and Hugo, taking into account how almost every player that talks about him, on Spurs and other teams, say he is the best player they have played with/against. His skill set is so unique that it took years for him to find his best position at Fulham and here, so that slowed down his development and kept him under the radar. But if he was playing in the first XI of a big club like RM, Barca, or Bayern (which I think he absolutely could) he would be considered one of the best CMs in the world today.

Don't think anybody is in the class of Maradona, Pele, Platini. Messi, Ronaldo - that's my definition of world class - and that's fine by me.
Bale was considered a worldie, but that didn't really make us achieve anything.
Yes we have players who are coveted by 'bigger' teams, but hopefully we can continue to rebuff them.
Our strength is our team spirit and players who are allowed to play in their best position.
